T-Poly Rector Fights Security Man over Taxicab, Judgment Debt Looms

At a time when Government is making frantic efforts to eliminate judgement debt payments which are in most cases borne out of negligence on the part of public officials, authorities of the Takoradi Polytechnic may soon have to use tax payers’ money to settle a security guard who has sued the Rector, Reverend Professor Daniel Nyarko, and the institution for wrongfully seizing his taxi cab and denying him income for nine months.

The security guard, 34 year old Edmund Okyere, with the free services of a lawyer sued the Rector and the Polytechnic for seizing his taxi cab for a year and four months. The Rector claims he had used monies overpaid into his account by the Controller and Accountant General to purchase the cab.  Okyere discovered Ghc11,000 in his bank account in June 2012, following the migration of polytechnic staff onto the single spine salary structure. 

He bought himself a vehicle to be used as a taxi at the cost of Ghc9,900, and used the rest to process the documentation, only for him to be asked to refund the money. But he refused, insisting the Polytechnic had no right to retrieve the monies because he was paid by the Controller. The Polytechnic authorities had claimed they were retrieving the money on behalf of the Controller, although there is no correspondence to that effect.

Although the Accountant General’s Department started monthly deductions from the plaintiff’s salary in July 2012, authorities of the polytechnic still refused to release the Kia Shuma taxi cab.  They were thus ordered by the Sekondi High Court in July this year, to release the car, but the court order was overlooked despite efforts by the plaintiff and his lawyer to get the car.

The lawyer filed a contempt suit in August 15 2013, which went in his client’s favor. The authorities were ordered again to produce the cab at the Court premises in Sekondi, which was complied with. A cost of 500 cedis was awarded the plaintiff. The court handed over the cab to the plaintiff, but a test drive indicated that it had developed countless faults since it had not been used for over a year. All documents covering it had also expired.

The substantive matter has been adjourned for hearing on November 13 2013. The plaintiff is seeking amongst several reliefs, the unlawful seizure of his car and loss of income. Edmund Okyere tells Maxx News his three children have dropped out of school because he is penniless.

“If they were even leaving me with some of the amount, it would have been better for me but they deduct all my money including my overtime allowance. Sometimes they take about 700 cedis, other times 900. And I am a family man with three children and a wife. Every day, I walk from Kojokrom to work at the Polytechnic. I have suffered till today. Already the Rector has vowed to frustrate me or dismiss me. Sometimes people advise me to stop following the matter because I have no money for litigation. So I became a bit scared," he noted.

"During this court process, I have spent a lot and have had to borrow from people. So I am hoping the court will retrieve the money I would have made from the car for me. I need to pay my debts so I can have some peace of mind,” frustrated Okyere lamented.

When Maxx News spoke to the Rector on the matter in 2012, he explained that other persons who had been overpaid in the school, had returned the difference to be forwarded to the Controller, and did not understand why the security guard could not do same.

Love, Wealth & Success

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?" they asked. "No", she said. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in," he said.

The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a house together," they replied. "Why is that?" she wanted to know. One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!" he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him.

Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, why are you coming in?" The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"
